Ah... WE have a "bill the snake" now...
Saw a 1-2" long head stickout out on the rocks today. Probably too small to
harm the fish, or frogs, but I'm sure he'll go after the salamanders in the pond, and the wife wants him gone. If memory serves, a minnow trap is the best solution? Turns out we have a lot of Nightshade growing locally, and all along one edge of the pond, so I know he'll dart in there, if we try to snag him with a net. Maybe the cats will grab him... he was too far away, and too small to make out what type he was. -- Gareee (Gary Tabar Jr.) |

As I recall - one rec.ponder baited her
minnow trap with a live fish and put in the minnow trap with part of it out of water. Caught the snake and released it. k :-) |

oups.com... As I recall - one rec.ponder baited her minnow trap with a live fish and put in the minnow trap with part of it out of water. Caught the snake and released it. Yeah thought I remembered something along those lines.. and she kept some of it out of the water, so the snake could breathe. Only thing I'm not sure of.. the pond has about 50 fish of various sizes now.. not sure if the snake would bother with on in a trap. his head was 1-2 inches (probably 1.5" max), so I'm not sure what he's going after.. the frogs might even eat him, since they are quite large. -- Gareee (Gary Tabar Jr.) |

the frogs might even eat him, since they are quite large. That would solve everything! And be tasty and nutritious! k :-) |

It's really a waste of time to try and remove them one by one. -- RM.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996. My Pond & Aquarium Pages: http://tinyurl.com/9do58 Zone 6.
